Sale of Government Vessels.

Fifteen government vessels were advertised to be sold at the Navy-yard to-day. The attendance was not large, and eleven steamers were withdrawn. For several there were no bids, and for others the prices offered were not sufficient to warrant a sale.

On those disposed of the bidding was very spirited, particularly on the Santiago de Cuba.

The following vessels were sold at the prices named:

Screw tug Clover was purchased by H. WINSOR & SON, for $9,100; the wooden side-wheel steamer Connecticut was purchased by S.G. WHEELER, Jr., for $137,000; the wooden side-wheel steamer Santiago de Cuba, was purchased by M.O. ROBERTS, for $108,000; the iron screw propeller Bermuda was purchased by W.F. WELLS &' CO., for $61,000.
